The KTM 390 Adventure name now belongs to the downsized platform bike, which also serves as the most affordable entry point into KTM’s 390 Adventure lineup. The smaller 349cc engine produces 41.5hp and 33.5Nm – down from the 46hp and 39Nm figures of the older 399cc motor – but retains the same styling, features, and alloy wheel setup as the Adventure X. If you’re considering the new 390 Adventure, here are a few reasons it makes a compelling case, along with a couple of factors that might make you look elsewhere. Reasons to buy the KTM 390 Adventure Excellent value for money The biggest draw of the 350cc 390 Adventure is its price. At Rs 2.81 lakh (ex-showroom), it is around Rs 62,000 more affordable than the Adventure X – which itself recently saw a price hike to Rs 3.43 lakh following new GST regulations. That's a significant difference, and it makes the 390 Adventure accessible to a much wider set of buyers. Despite the lower price, you're not getting a stripped-down produc...

Mercedes-Benz is on something of a portfolio-expansion spree in India, with 12 new model introductions planned for 2026 alone, and the GLC 53 Coupe is one of the chapters in that story. Expected here sometime in early 2027, it steps in to replace the AMG GLC 43, a car that sold modestly, finding around 140 buyers last year.  Mercedes GLC 53 Coupe Design and Engineering Coupe-SUVs are an acquired taste, lending a more special look and feel to a regular SUV.  The thing is, the coupe-SUV body style has never been mainstream. It’s an acquired taste, one that appeals to buyers who want their SUV to look and feel a little more special. The GLC 53 should resonate strongly with exactly that audience, except this time, it arrives with a far more interesting powertrain and considerably more character than the car it replaces, thereby correcting what is considered one of AMG’s biggest missteps, the unloved 2.0-litre four-cylinder. Mercedes GLC 53 Coupe Performance and Refinement Under...

The fifth-gen Honda City , launched back in 2020, recently received its second facelift. It arrives just a couple of months after its direct rival, the Hyundai Verna , received a facelift for 2026 and beyond.
